This week I watched a lot of tennis in Shanghai and as soon as this match was booked, I couldn't wait to bet on it and watch it.
We have Nadal, who is believed to be back near his best and Tsonga, the always flamboyant frenchman.
Tsonga played three three set matches here already: Robredo, Ramos and Anderson. Maybe tired, maybe not, but difficult week for him.
Nadal went like a storm trough trough Karlovic, Raonic and Wawrinka. There were problems with Karlovic, but Nadal solved the equation and never looked back since. Nadal beat Wawrinka with a 6-2 6-0 that leaves no place for interpretation. It is true that Stan was not exactly the man yesterday and seemed injured in the second set, but what a performance from Nadal, who found his forehand, his movement, almost like back in the day.
And let us not forget that Rafa just played a final at Beijing, only Djokovic could stop him in the previous 9 matches played.
I was surprised that Tsonga came back in his match with Kevin Anderson yesterday, because Anderson was the best player in the first two sets. A very narrow win for Tsonga, his second in a row after having a deciding set with Ramos in the earlier round.
I am not convinced by Tsonga lately. He is good, but not spectacular.
My call is that Nadal in this kind of form has almost no chances to lose the match.
I am a little bit gutted because I did not catch the earlier odd that was 1.50 or so. But 1.45 is a fair odd to back with a big stakes in my opinion.
